I suggest choosing the option to completely bypass the activation. Its in option in the installer. A few fix permissions and cache clearing might help as well or toggle airplane mode if you don't want to reflash it

You can get into recovery correct ?
Hold home + power + up volume until after the blue text flashes on the left of the screen. You will then be in recovery.
Then make sure the ROM's zip is on te ex SD card and flash it. One the Aroma installer starts don't chose default but rather the walk through. Select all the recommended settings. its has about 7-8 pages of choices as you go through. One option will allow you to skip the activation. Its a synergy only tweak from what I know. It helps with this Verizon based ROM's.

[Q] Ramdump and Boot loop error > Pls help !

Hello,
Yesterday, I buy my new i8150 Galaxy Wonder and i root my phone
I install the rom Black Notes Chapter 2 with ClockworkMod.
I used V6 Supercharger with scrip manager.
After the restart everything worked normally and I just installed Viber app.
Being tired, I have not verified if the scrip was properly installed
I go to bed and getting up several hours later, my i8150 galaxy displays a black screen with
RAMDUMP mode
<null>
I will restart my phone and there's only the Samsung logo that flashes every second.
No more access to Clockwormod, the logo flashes too.
The only thing I know to do is put it into Download Mode or RAMDUMP Mode > cause: force upload
So I try flashed an original rom (W I8150XXKK1 Galaxy (EUR)) into Download Mode with Odin Multi Downloader v4.43.
Every step is going well, but when it restarts automatically at the end of the process, the Samsung logo blinking again.
I also tried to reinstall ClockworkMod with Odin Multi Downloader, but still the stage proceeds successfully, always the same problem of flashing samsung logo on startup and no access to ClockworkMod
Help me please, it's been over 5 hours I'm looking for a solution.
THANK YOU
I'm not completely new to android, I trained for over a year with my ZTE Blade with different Rom (CyanogenMod)

Oh2.. This is interesting r u sure no access to CWM ? If possible best to wipe all system folder making the phone fully wiped.
Have you tried to flash stock recovery ?

No kidding, but the characteristic for the phone that possible have a boot loop are always have FORCE CLOSE app and doing RESTART itself
It can fixed but only if we get stock firmware with wipe and boot loader to fix this issue
I will bring this issue to new tread

This is EXACTLY what happened yesterday..and just now I wiped everything in the phone and turned it on. It worked first, but there was a FC on the start or something..and the screen goes black. But I notice that I'm still in the custom ROM I was using (GingerICE). Then I turned it off and and went to CWM. I tried reboot system now, but I was stuck in the samsung logo. Can someone help?
I have the backup of the stock ROM. Is it safe to make the backup?

if you could boot into Recovery screen, you could try:
wipe factory/system, wipe cache, advanced > wipe dalvik.
[careful] i usually format my /system if i get bootloops.
then reflash the ROM. reboot.. in my cases, those steps always worked.
edit: you should checkout the GingerICE with non OC version, the OC may work on some device and some don't, IMO if you're using your droid for daily use, i recommend using the non OC
im facing same issue too here... but i couldn't even access to download mode... tried many times, still failed... help plss...
Same thing happen to me ...today. I can get into download mode, but after flash the with odin it is still the same, boot loop on samsung logo.... help !!!

Im Stuck!! Incred 1 Need help rooted but NOt??

Phone was being used by an employee but I had rooted it and was running Skyraider very happy with it. The guy left and took the memory card. I had to do a reset to get his gmail out of the phone but I forgot to do it through recovery and did it from the phone menu. Now the phone will not do 3g or internet and when I go into recovery I get cwm 5.xxx but none of the functions will work, I just get the hat with the circle and have to pull the batt to get out of it. Tried Rom manager and it just Fcs, Tried unrevoked and it never saw the phone.
Im stuck and need to get this thing working for work. Please help
To select options in recovery, use the optical button not the power button.
Damn using the Incred2 all this time I forgot about that button. Any idea if doing a reset from the phone menu would cause the lack of internet.

That's fairly unusual but I've never performed that within the rom. You should be fine once you wipe and flash another rom.
maybe the guy turned off the mobile network. You could always flash a new ROM or reflash the current one and have everything back to normal hopefully

Ok, here's one. I unrooted using this method.
In download mode,
custom binary download: No
current binary: Samsung official
System status: official
but under system settings, device status reads "Modified"
Do I need to wipe my phone? was the .tar I flashed onto my phone secure?
Thanks so much for the help, I'm kind of panicking
If your already unrooted make a factory reset that should fix it.

Alright, thanks I'll give that a shot.
Also did you make sure you resetted your flash counter to 0 before u unrooted/?
Yes, I used triangle away, and download mode shows that everything is good to go. Which led me to believe that the .tar file I flashed might have been modified. But I'll give the reset a shot.
Great idea! I'll make sure to come by a few times a week see if I can pitch in :good:

How long as it been? It can take a while to boot up.
If after 10min it's still not botting up, go in recovery, clear cache/dalvik and reboot. If that doesn't work, factory reset and reboot.
Now if all of the above don't work, get back in download mode and reflash with Odin.

I am already using Odin so I don't think I can get back into CWM. I try the Home, Power, Volume down and it just puts it in download mode. I am trying re flashing with Odin now. we will see what happens this time.

recovery mode is vol up+home+power.
You don't need cwm to get in recovery. it's already there by default.

Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago, thought I bricked it because I couldn't get it into recovery mode. Panicked for a while because I couldn't find any answers anywhere, and the laughed at myself when I realized recovery was volume up instead of volume down. Did a factory reset and went from there.

Do you have any devices that still require the g protocol? Most devices today support N. And if that is the case, turn off all the unused protocols (a, b, g). That could be causing some issues.

Replacing digitizer
Hey, my colleague dropped her S3, the Glass itself is not cracked, and the LED display is fine as well, however the phone is not responding to touch input, so it must be the digitizer. Is there a way to replace JUST the digitizer? or is she going to have to get the entire glass/digitizer/led replacement piece?
This is what I'm looking at for the digitizer only.

Help with bricked Note 2

Hello.. So today I attempted to flash a new version of TWRP for installing cleanrom and it bricked my phone. I can get into download mode though
So using ODIN i've been trying to install custom recoveries. Everytime it says pass, but I cannot get a recovery to show up. If I hold up, power and home buttons, the Galaxy note 2 will flash (as if its about to load a recovery) but then just goes back to galaxy note 2 screen. I can still make it to download mode, but cannot seem to get anywhere else.
Also, currently there is no rom on my phone.
Please help!
Thanks,
AC

Maybe use odin to start over fresh? Is the recovery separate from the kernel in the Note II?

I think it is separate. The last thing I had was beanstalk with neak kernel. Then I wiped everything (not sure if that affect kernel or not) to prepare for cleanrom.
How do I use odin to start fresh?

Install a factory image (probably with root and custom recovery) then proceed to flash whatever from there.

Oh sorry, I wasn't sure what the term bricked actually encompassed. I guess I was stuck in bootloop then.
Well, good and bad news. I got out of the bootloop, and finally got twrp installed on my phone. I did a recovery of beanstalk and also a fresh install of cleanrom. While they boot, they both have been going extremely slowly. Also just loading into recovery is taking super long. I don't know why. I am also not getting any signal, I can however connect to wifi. Anyone have any ideas or any thoughts on how to fix this?
Thanks again!

Just tried it out and it had the same problem. installed with ODIN no problem, but I still have no signal and it is still running very choppy.
When I go to mobile networks in settings it tells me "Insert SIM card to access network services" I have a sim and have tried reinserting it multiple times. I don't know whats going on. Also, it seems I do not have any internal storage. It says 200mb in storage that are fully used. When I have cleared everything but the rom.
I may attempt to return the phone tomorrow.

good luck

Thanks for the recommendation but I've previously tried the method, but my phone always failed to download (even when it wasnt rooted) would u have any other way of solving it without having to use odin. . . my phone is currently stuck in recovery mode so any help trying to get out of it would be helpful. .thank you for your time helping me solve my issue
Put the correct ROM on your external sd card with a PC adaptor. Install the card, boot into recovery, wipe system and data, then install the correct ROM. Boot, let rhe phone settle in for a few minutes, connect to wifi, or check if the correct ROM has the at&t APN settings.

Ranger is correct, try doing what he suggested.
But not really understanding what you have tried from your post.....
Which method, and what does fail to download?
Do you mean fail to get into download mode, and you only can get into recovery?
Are you doing this to get to download mode?
Put your Note 2 in Download Mode
-First you will need to turn off your device.
-Once it’s off, you need to press this button combination: volume down, power button and home button.
-Keep them pressed until the download mode shows up.
-Once you’re there, you will be required to press volume up to enter the download mode or volume down to cancel and reboot the device.
Obviously you want to press the volume up. Now you are ready to ODIN flash.

-Once it’s off, you need to press this button combination: volume down, power button and home button.
-Keep them pressed until the download mode shows up.
-Once you’re there, you will be required to press volume up to enter the download mode or volume down to cancel and reboot the device.
Obviously you want to press the volume up. Now you are ready to ODIN flash.

i would have tried ODIN for this situation but everytime i do. It says "FAILED" how would you suggest i fix this so that my phone can use ODIN. I was going from cyanogenMod to a custom ROM, but i assume i didnt flash the old ROM and now i kinda stuck in a bootloop like it'll show the samsung intro then show the customROM emblem stays there. I've left it in that state for a whole night and it didnt change (still showing the custom ROM emblem) the only thing i can do is enter TWRP v2.6.3.1 and access my external SD.

Sorry bout that. . just tried to connect my phone to ODIN in ODIN MODE. I'll update with what happened.
Just got done trying to flash with ODIN, and it got the part where it starts to install but 4 mins. in my device was removed. I was using the PDA from sammobile.com, and now my phone is saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." i know it might be as simple as actually doing what it says but Kies will not recognize my At&t samsung galaxy note II. What would u suggest to let my laptop recognize my device??

Put the correct ROM on your external sd card with a PC adaptor. Install the card, boot into recovery, wipe system and data, then install the correct ROM. Boot, let rhe phone settle in for a few minutes, connect to wifi, or check if the correct ROM has the at&t APN settings.

Thank you for your time helping me with my phone issue. I took the steps you suggested, now im running custom ROM jellybean 4.1.1. and got my service provider back. If you could suggest away to get my stock program and upgrade to jellybean 4.3. I had fun with the rooted life but i make the worst mistakes.
PS. i found it to be alot easier using the other tar. in the firmware u suggested me to use. At least for At&t Samsung Galaxy Note II

So i just flashed my at&t Samsung galaxy note II with jellybean 4.1.1 using Odin ( ATT_I317UCAMA4_I317ATTAMA4) and it was going on with everything working. Then i tried to update to jellybean 4.3 after it got done installing it rebooted, and what do u know, i'm stuck in boot loop the Samsung galaxy note 2 logo, and cant access recovery mode. Also I tried the original firmware that used repeatedly,would that hurt the system. Would there be any firmwares suggested to use.

yes it updated and installed but after it installed and rebooted its in
a constant boot loop. Is this going to be a simple permanent fix?
